Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl - Silly Walks

[MetalCamelChannel]

Their best sketch for sure.

[iv2950]

Take that Jim Carrey!

[WatchVenusSpa]

6 people were unable to get a grant to develop their silly walk...

[broreguard41]

6 people walk normal

[MarkB1ngham]

Anyone remember the MP skit with 'Mrs S-C-U-M' the cleaning lady in it? can't find it anywhere!☺ (how did they sell this to America? is it cos they're all Oxbridge' graduates?)

[lapislazuli7]

@MarkB1ngham I guess you mean "Take Your Pick" from the Atiila The Hun Show. :-) Make sure you also see the early version of that sketch in "How To Irritate People" (the character is called Mrs. Morris here)! :-)

[lapislazuli7]

@lapislazuli7 Hm, cleaning lady?

[celtno1]

Graham Chapman's walk right at the end of clip is hillarious.

[rickybacker60]

From 1:09 to 1:27 is absolutely hysterical. John pulled off a classic move here, I'm sure that would have been mostly add libbed too!

[23lizards]

Monthy Python is the awesomest thing that has happened to humor. Ever.

[Aloradelyda]

I lost my shit laughing at "Yes Mr. Teabag!"

[GollumSupernova]

Thats just silly!

[hevele]

lol mike performing his silly walk and then he just go to the chair in normal walk

:))

[mokilepoissonrouge]

John Cleese is the man :D

[AdamBauer85]

I love john's little smile of satisfaction when he sits back down at 1:28

[David998]

Awesome, his walk is even sillier than in the original sketch!! John Cleese is a genius

[jma830]

cleese & palin  deserve an oscar for this performance

[Studmeister17]

@jma830 Damn right! This is brilliant!

[bandgeek8986]

1:08-1:28 - Epic win!!!

[FlippinBooks]

Oh, ra-THER! :D

[Sewicide]

I love how Michael Palin checks Mrs.Two-Lumps out when she leaves the stage.

[Shadow07Warrior1989]

Right out of the gate Cleese cracks me up!! YAY PYTHON!!!

[justmyluck08]

i love that jump at 0:12! so funny! absolutly perfect!!

[nicki446]

@duo1992 spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam,

egg sausages and spam.

[Brazilady]

I LOVE them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ruikmaxdo]

the one at the end is hilarious!!

[JulianCallens]

Cleese is not awesome. Cleese is awesomeness.

I wish I had been around by the time the Pythons were still performing....

[boodhari2000]

lmfaO

[pabloven64]

The first time I saw this ...oh so many years ago.. I actually fell off the couch laughing

[AL52Dragon]

I've just nearly died of laughing, I have!

[MeredithDerek]

Hilarious! Monty Python are epic in comedy

[shashwati]

..and i think we can all see where Paul Adams (the South African bowler) got the idea of his run-up from... plagiarizer....

[shashwati]

holy god...his body was made of rubber, man...friggin hilarious n more variety than the original..

[zodiacbluesbaby]

Even better than the original :)

[MsMoonTheLoon]

oh god I can't stop laughing :D

The walks are way sillier than in the original scetch (which is great,too)

:D

[Imacuser223]

This hollywood bowl version of the silly walks is IMO better than the original.

I act out all of John Cleese's silly walks... and people look at me silly. I love em that much, but Cleese's walks are easily imitated, never duplicated.

[RioZuckerman]

When I saw this one for the first time I almost peed my pants laughing - and today it's still the same - when I see this sketch I can't hold it back... I mean: the laughter! ;-) Still amazing...

[KrautGoesWild]

I´ve watched this one, the Lumberjack, the Philosopher´s song and the Fish-Slapping Dance over and over again.

And I can still laugh!

[Hegebabe]

It's impossible to not laugh!!

:-D

[SkeptiLady]

I 'm told that John Cleese doesn't really understand why the purely physical comedy of things like the silly walk are funny. That's part of why his physical comedy is so deadpan.

[NanSupertramp]

This and the argument sketch are my favorite John Cleese sketches. I adored him in Fawlty Towers

[DRaKe6900]

my two favourite John Cleese sketches are this and the Albatross one from Live At Hollywood Bowl

[KendraSwan]

It's amazing how tall he is but how flexible he can be. I mean, when he does that thing with his knees towards the end, making them go off to the sides, it seems that someone of his height would have a hard time keeping all that body weight on such an akwardly positioned leg! Amazing...

[trixiebrown1]

1:53 kid humor

[TheSnek901]

lol, Cleese's least favorite sketch, he hates it he said on an interview, says it makes him look too stupid :P

[almost1st]

well.... it does^^

[Novazi74]

Yeah he states that whenever the sketch comes, he states that he is not doing a silly walk.

[sexiaussie1]

haha god i love monty python!!

[purzeltree]

even we krauts can laugh about this sketch :D, i love monty python and john cleese is undescribable in this scene. phenomenal. greetings from bavaria :)

[Angieelek]

I prefer this version because of cleese's better steps :D, how carol jumps with the coffee :D and michael's look at 2:03!!! XD it never gets old

[bmazz76]

How on earth can he walk silly and talk at the same time is a mystery to me... great sketch.

[acdckid123]

john cleese is the best. iv seen this soo meny times and i still think is grat. XD

[happyprincess456]

john cleese is a genius

[HamHamSky]

i adore john cleese ^-^

i laugh every single time i see him do his silly walk XD,

they have great comic timing too :P id never be able to do that as good in my drama class

[Irratzo]

I wonder if Monty Python ever killed a person with a very sharp sketch.

[Friscalating]

Did you know that a man in Denmark literally died laughing while watching Michael Palin in A Fish Called Wanda?

[Irratzo]

That's tragic, but i guess it figures, what with the cartoons. Humour in Denmark really seems to be something serious.

I looked it up in Wikipedia:

"In 1989, a Danish audiologist, Ole Bentzen, died after laughing while watching the film. His heart was estimated to have beat at between 250 and 500 beats per minute, before he succumbed to cardiac arrest."

The technical term is Fatal hilarity.

Thanks for your info, much appreciated!

[danshaggy292]

Or a point-ed stick

[shadow306k]

win ^_^

[bawlbag]

Beautifully done!!!!

[celtno1]

micheals trousers were funnier than his walk.

[mattmaloneypresents]

that last one keeps making me roar with laughter.

and all the rest.

classic.

[chitoryu12]

I need to do this for my Acting class at some point this year.

[ToddonCapeCod]

I get tears in my eyes from watching this! .... tears of laughter, of course

[Poeskina05]

That Cleese can do this live is really amazing...

[Schnurrkatze76]

...John Cleese is really funny, how did he invent all those silly ways to walk...totally funny...

[stupendaslycool]

omg! monty python is the greates!

[toninievas]

GRANDES

[elphabadance]

John Cleese is so light on his feet.

[MsMeatscience]

I may be strange but I find Michael Palin's short pants so hilarious! He is by far my fav Python. I mean, the ex-leper in Life of Brian is so funny, the 'crucifiction?' guy too, well in fact all his characters are great ;)

[felilalu]

genial...die habens einfach drauf

[sannaol]

I love how Mike says "Rather" :-)

[julgna]

no one does this better than john cleese. monty python for ever.

[alexhogan]

I grew up on this stuff, every Sunday at 10:00. Never missed an episode!

[SnowQueen42]

What is there to get. It's a ministry for silly walks!

[marcushelbling]

i know. it's hilarious.

i don't get it.

well, i guess i shouldn't over observe the joke...

[tissot233]

Just love them.

[alexhogan]

At the end, when Terry Jones hops away... that just kills me!

[Sukriti]

Thats Not terry Jones.. Its graham chapman~!!

[Orupsuger]

Probably the greatest physical comedy sketch ever made.

[Veggieman87]

Hardest physical comedy sketch ever made, as well. It hurts to try. But, then again, only trained Pythons should attempt such silliness.

[ePhilosopher]

i dont follow mousie

[Angieelek]

LOVE IT!! forever fantastic and I love Carol when he's carrying the coffee :D:D

[goddamnpelicans]

someone should post all of this

[MabelNormand]

i really think that life of brian was all in good humour. you need to take all of it with a grain of salt, this is how wars are started!!! you must let everyone speak their mind no matter how right or wrong people are! i speak as a christian myself.

also, great version of this skit. i LOVE monty python!

[cageygrrl]

wow. god's got a sense of humor.... they do know that right??? i mean if he/she didn't, every comedian would have been struck by lighting by now...for further proof i give you the platypus

[SapphireLight]

ok...to merseygroup: wow...what a thing to freak out over...monty python is awesome and ur just being uptight...and im sure your precious jesus will forgive them for "life of brain" god its life of brian!

[pockypurse]

I thought Jesus was dead. D:

[MilkmanConspiracy]

Good one. Almost half as funny as this clip.

[McMunchy]

Hooooman--I thought it was a joke! But I guess it isn't then is it. Wow, that's really a funny comment... why can't people just laugh? Monty Python was probably "Our Lords" way of guaranteeing the planet some really great laughs for years to come anyhow! It was good enough to be considered such a miracle, anyhow. Haha. :)

[honken17]

relax! its humor!!

[AE86MAN]

@merseygroup

well, they (according to you anyway) make fun of cripples, laugh at the crucifiction etc. etc.

here's my point

<rant>

they make a lot more money than you do I expect. And according to your profile, YOU are in the UK so I have the right at the moment to call you a british fag

you god damn british fag

</rant>

[MilkmanConspiracy]

You're calling 'im a cigarette?

[Superapplefrog]

Maybe he meant a pork faggot

[Monkee86]

FYI, it's "Life of Brian" actually. Not "brain"...

[VDOcollector]

merseygroup, have you seen Life of Brian? i have, several times, and it is an absolutely brilliant film NO ONE is going to hell for. there is no scene in that film, whatsoever, portraying the death of your lord. in fact, as i recall it, the second, yes the second, scene in that film clearly shows that brian is NOT your lord, merely a contemporary, someone who lived at the same time.

[LinkSora74]

hello AGAIN you loser fag. You do this for all Monty python vids, and you just come off looking like a complete gay ass expecting people to agree with you. HOW ARE THEY MAKING FUN OF THE CRIPPLED? IT'S JUST SILLY WALKS!! You did this with the Spanish Inquisition, Life of Brian, and This one too. Just cancel your account, or shut up and stop watching these vids.

[mrbriscoe2001]

I agree with Link;if you want to mudsling,go to the political videos;The comments there always degenerate from debate into mud slinging;let people have fun with the comedy.

[xhellonhighheels69x]

actually, this shows how people really should research things before they make fun of them. Life of BRIAN (not brain) was not about Jesus at all. If you're going to be a shit, at least do it properly.

:D~

[SapphireLight]

lol john cleese is a genius...michael palin is so funny...love it when he checks out ms twolumps...they always look so serious...

[baschten]

yes Mr Teabag.....LoL

[jenni180289]

ALSO love how Palin checks out 'mrs two-lumps' as she walks off...haha classic facical exression!

[ArcticM1234]

i like sheese to

[jenni180289]

see again i think Palin is funniest in this...LOVE it...although CLeese is a genius of Silly Walks! "i can make it A LOT more silly!..Palin just makes me laugh coz he's so serious.

[downwithleetspeak]

More than 30 years and Cleese still has it. Man.

[bigd69er]

cleese is great,i love his physical comedy.

[emeela89]

it`s great. I really love it!

[wonderland33]

HOW does he bend his legs like that??

[mrbriscoe2001]

Every time I try to imitate this walk,I throw my knees out.I don't know how he does this.

[joeydoo3]

what year was this?

[ISB]

"what year was this?"

september 1980.

[lulas879]

I wonder if that coffe was hot XD

[DappyKnigget]

"Thank you, lovely."

[DrFaustusAufReisen]

SNORK goddamitt!! Laughing a lot!!

[rhaoth]

genious

[wilesto]

john cleese at his best

[freshouttawater]

oh my damn. that was crazy. he is the funniest gut in the whole world.

[Silnorda]

Oh, Cleese and his long, long legs... I love 'em!

[DappyKnigget]

Yeah, the long legs just make the whole sketch, don't they?

[Silnorda]

Wouldn't be the same if Terry Jones did it, yes.

[DappyKnigget]

Yeah, and did you notice how Carol Cleveland spilled coffee in John Cleese's lap? Heh.

[Silnorda]

No, I didn't. Hehe. xD Thanks for pointing it out!

[biggles1111]

"Good morning, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, but I'm afraid my walk has become rather sillier resently, so it takes me longer to get to the office." I'll try that on my english teacher someday...

[pupika06]

lol. Report back

[evilbitch101]

brilliant!! Pure comic genius!!

[grey180]

Monty Rocks, If u love them buy the 16ton monty python box set, 16 dvds of monty all the flying circus eps. You dont get comedy like this anymore, its just silly!

[Kebap23]
